As a Chef for Nestlé Professional, my role is working directly with other chefs, whether they be from regional restaurant chains, large healthcare customers, or large hospitals. I help our customers fully integrate nutrition, health, and wellness, as well as food safety into their day-to-day operations. Nutrition and safety should, after all, be at the very core of food service.

As the Nutrition, Health and Wellness manager for Nestlé Professional North America, my role consists of leading, guiding and inspiring nutrition and health in everything that we do: from the products we develop to the communication and the support we provide to the restaurants we work with.

At Nestlé, we understand that for our company to be successful in the long term, we have to create value not only for our business, but for everyone we touch. Those include billions of people from the farmers who grow our ingredients and the families that enjoy our products to the communities where we live and work and the natural environment upon which we all depend. It is our business to deliver food and enhance the quality of life, but we want to ensure that the people we work with on that journey also benefit.
